(Cause of death: 1/3. She didn't really mention how it happened. Edit: yes she did, at<br />

the end, which I'd forgotten. So...3/3. Nice. Life story: 3/3. Seriously, I laughed my<br />

ass off through this one too. My favorite bits were plentiful, but if I have to choose one:<br />

Often working until the wee hours of the morning, she boasted many satisfied customers<br />

Todd Karner, Quilted Northerns<br />

Todd Christian Karner<br />

April 15th 1977-July 8th 2007<br />

Todd Christian Karner died in a fire at a local Minneapolis comedy club on July 8th<br />

2007. Todd had been a staple of poor theatre performances and botched dates for years<br />

in the Twin Cities area. He graduatted from colledge at Minesota state Univarsity at<br />

mankato where he magored in theatre and minored in speling and grammer: After<br />

college Todd moved to Ireland where he lived for a year before he was forced out of the<br />

country for being too big of a drunk. He died Sunday night while performing at<br />

Grumpy's Comedy Club in front of a large crowd including five of his closest friends.<br />

He had a very good last set. His friends were thoroughly enjoying it when they realized<br />

they were laughing at jokes being told by Todd Karner. They then poured their<br />

alcoholic beverages over themselves and lit themselves on fire. Everyone else escaped<br />

from the club unharmed, with the exception of Todd. He realized he had upset the<br />

natural order of things by being funny and decided to give his friends one last big fiery<br />

hug. He is survived by his parents Tom and Kandie, and his brothers Mathew and Marc.<br />

Who only kind of liked him.<br />

(Cause of death: 3/3. The term "die in a fire" is one I find funny. It's an inside joke that<br />

works on me. However, it's the self-deprecation of everyone else setting themselves on<br />

fire and only Todd dying that makes it perfect. Life story: 2/3. It's short and not as<br />

sharp as the stuff about the death, but I do like it. My favorite bit: Todd had been a<br />

staple of poor theatre performances and botched dates for years in the Twin Cities<br />

area. Also, I didn't know Marc's name was spelled that way. But this is Todd, so<br />

maybe it isn't.) 5 points<br />

Robert Arlt, Brown Street Elite<br />

Robert Edwin Arlt, born 1983, is dead. Always a control freak his last hours of his 56<br />

years under the sun were spent scratching his dying words to be used in this notice,<br />

claiming he didn't want some sappy relative coming up with a bunch of bull$!%. A man<br />

of reticence and quiet manipulation, he managed to estrange his entire family by the<br />

end of his life except his beloved pit-bull, Bo-Peep, who didn't care about his antics so<br />

long as he was fed holistic, organic dog food. The only bump in their relationship came<br />

when Robert, a well known penny pincher decided he'd get the cheap generic brand at<br />

his local Wal-Mart to see if he could fool Bo-Peep. After feeding Bo-Peep, he was<br />

watching Dateline when he saw the report of deadly dog food from China and became<br />

sicker than the dog, the only thing making him feel better was finding out China's<br />

minister of Health would be put to death for it. Sadly it appears Bo-Peep, at the ancient<br />

age of 19 couldn't hear his masters calls for help when Robert had fallen and broken his
